A new record has been set for how fast DDR5 memory can go, reaching an amazing 12,886 MT/s, thanks to a skilled overclocker named saltycroissant. The test shows the power of CORSAIR memory paired with an ASRock Z890 motherboard.
The record was achieved using a single 24GB CORSAIR Vengeance DDR5 memory stick, pushed to a speed of 6,443.1 MHz on the ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard, teamed up with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor.
This setup has been used before to break memory speed records, proving its strength. The result was checked and confirmed by a tool called CPU-Z, making it official. This new mark beats the previous record of 12,872 MT/s set by another overclocker, bl4ckdot, just 20 days ago.
The difference is small—only 14 MT/s—but getting that extra speed is tough, often needing careful tweaks and special cooling like liquid nitrogen to keep the memory from overheating. The timing settings stayed the same as before, showing the improvement comes from pure speed.
Overclockers like saltycroissant are getting close to the next big goal of 13,000 MT/s, though it might take time as these speeds push the limits of current technology. The excitement is growing, with people online cheering this achievement and wondering what’s next.
If you’re into high-performance tech, keep an eye on updates from CORSAIR or ASRock’s websites. This record is a big win for memory speed fans!
